Necklaces (page 1) -- Some of The Kalo Shop's finest work is represented in its early necklaces and pendants on chains.  Made in silver and gold, these often contain delicate cutouts, small applied flowers, generous use of semi-precious stones, and pearl or silver bead drops (small elements that dangle freely from the bottom).  They usually incorporated handmade paperclip link chains, so called because the long curved oval shape of each link resembles the outside form of a paperclip.
